Halloween Stitches

It's been Halloween at my house for over a month. I am actually contemplating keeping Halloween permanently. We'll see how that works out once December rolls around *wink*wink*

I have wreaths like this for almost every time of year. Most notably for Halloween and Valentine's Day. I posted the tutorial a while back, and it's available for you here, should you want to make your own. If you haven't gotten on track with Halloween decor, you can knock this out in an afternoon before the weekend is over and hang it on your door before the 31st!

The table is set and ready for Halloween guests. I kept the banner I used last year over the mantel. All this has been out since Mid-September. I even changed the books on my coffee table to Halloween-themed tales (sorry, don't have a photo of that for you).

I have also been stitching quite a bit for Halloween. Some patterns have been on the shelf for a while (and by while, I mean a year or more), and I am so excited to get to stitch them up... finally!

I have a large stash of Halloween fabric that I needed to use up, because let's face it, I can't hoard this fabric forever. I made patchwork placements for the dining table. I used Gina Matarazzo's Pumpkin Pal's embroidery pattern for the napkins. Incidentally, the tutorial for the napkins is available on Feeling Stitchy, should you want to make your own.

I also started working on a Halloween quilt. Told ya... have to use up this stash of fabric. I am hoping to have the top finished before the end of the weekend and finish putting it together by Thursday. Here's to last minute Halloween projects! (My apologies, I had to use cell phone images for this, because I forgot to use my camera, so the pictures aren't as great as I would want them to be).
